Biden Joke of the Day

With Joe Biden week-old news, talk show hosts turned their sharp tongues to John McCain’s VP choice Sarah Palin, who has given them plenty more to work with when it comes to material.

Jokes about Palin and her pregnant daughter dominated late night Tuesday.

David Letterman even got unusually pointed as he questioned McCain’s choice in Palin.

After bringing up the possibility of a President McCain going to sleep one night and not waking up, Letterman said, “The president running this country — I want that person to have one point at least to have had a five minute conversation with their teenage kids about birth control. That’s all.”

He then broke the serious moment with a joke: “I know abstinence is a great thing. I’m in year five.”

Even with Palindemonium trumping Bidenmania for the night, “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” still found time to poke fun at Biden loquaciousness during Sunday night’s “60 Minutes” interview. Watch it:
